Idea of getting rid of the waste in the system.
Prescription drugs should be given based on necessity.
What is the purpose of advertising them?
IMHO To make people "believe" they need these drugs.
Believe the prescient has been set already.
Similar to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater when there is no fire. Create panic(demand) for the sake of it when no fire(necessity) exists.

Specifically, prescription drug advertisements
Doctors should be deciding what to prescribe and not the patients.
Thus, view prescription drug advertisements as a waste of money.

But it's the company's money to waste, if they so choose. Banning content, no matter what it is, is not the appropriate way to deal with this.

But I am always up for a debating these issues.
